Some of the Peculiar Dishes Re1ished by
 Epicurean Mussulman.
 The Turkish families that are able have several cooks, one for meats, one for pastries, and others for differ ent branches of culinary art and they have acquired much proficiency in it, as far as making savory and appetiz- ing dishes are concerned.
 The only meats they use .e beef, mutton, little veal, when not too young, all kinds of poultry and game birds. They eat all kinds of fish, which are found in profusion in the Bosphorus. The red mullet is abund- ant and very fine, and all the fish are good and have a peculiar flavor. There are many varieties of shell fish which they eat; cookies, razor fish. mussels and oysters, and also crabs and Holsters. With all fish and most of meats they eat salad which is call ed scodiah, made of garlic, oil. bread crumbs and vinegar, all bruised in a mortar and with cucumber or caviar in it Mussels are stuffed with rice, butter. chopped onions and pepper and replaced in the shell and baked.

DANGERS OF BENZINE.
Why the Utmost Care Should Be Exer-
 cised in Handling It.

Why the Utmost Care Should Be Exer-
 cised in Handling It.
 Some weeks ago in Philadelphia music printing establishment while a boy was engaged in cleaning press with benzine, rubbing it with a rag, the fluid blazed up; the lads clothing caught fire, and he was so severely burned that his recovery was stated to be doubtful. It has been popularly supposed that flame, or at least tenn perature equal to the white or red heat of iron, was necessary to ignite ben zine, but this is a mistake. It is a fact little known that hard friction can develop sufficient heat to infame benzine vapor. especially if the surface rubbed be vanished with shellac. We are informed by competent and truthful mechanical en- gineer that few years ago (while try ing with benzine in closed tin vessel to construct thermostat to ignite powder giving out sulphurous gas in case of fire outbreak), he found that the vapor was leaking from minute crack in a seam. He requested a tin man to. solder the leak, suppOsing that copper soldering tool at dark heat would nor be dangerous. To his sur prise and that of the workman, the vapor ignited. with blue flame, as soon as the tool approached near the crack, and flame played around the tool like a will-o' -the-wisp. This gen. tleman several times experimented afterward and found that at dark heat the tool did not inflame the vapor when at a distance of twelve inches from the crack, but did always set fire to it if within six to four inches. No matter how small the crevice, there always came out enough vapor to ignite at this low de- gree of temperature. In these trials, as in the first instance, the tin-man's furnace was kept at considerable distance. We mentioned a few months since a case in which this vapor was ignited by electricity generated in rubbing flannel garment, which was being cleaned in a tub of the fluid. This last occurrence once more em- phasizes the need of the utmost eau ton in the handling of benzine in the securing and furniture establishments and printing offices, in which it is so generally and xtensively made use Of --BIrs aad Water

4 Mighty Bad Spell.

A few months ago an old gentleman was seen mailing notice on fence on the south side of Austin avenue. A friend, passing, said:
 "Why don't you have the notice put in the paper, where people can read it?"

DANGER FROM GLANDERS.
4 Disease That Is to Be Feared as Mucf
 as Small-POx or Cholera.


 as Sman-POx or Cholera.
 The present facilities for transport ing stock from one part of the country to another, though favorable to farm CTS in most respects, are productive of danger. as they make it easy to dis seminate contagious diseases. An ex- ample is afforded in the case of gland CTS, which was hardly known in Illi- nois till horses were brought into the State from various parts of the country in droves and carloads. The disease has recently become quite common, and as it is communicable not only to horses, but to human beings, and in the present state of medical science is pronounced incurable. it is to be feared like smallpox, yellow fever and Asiatic ous than either of these diseases, as it spreads during all seasons of the year, and is generally if not al ways attended by fatal results. It appears among high-bred horses kept in city stables and the wild ponies of the mountain ranges and the Western plains. It is believed to have its or igin in bad treatment exposure, con- finement in filthy qu arters, Overwork and the breathing of vitiated air, any of which may produce depraved con- dition of the system.
 It occurs in two forms, depending on the parts affected. When in the lymphatic system it is called farcy, when in the nasal cavities glanders. The former, unless arrested, term- mates in glanders. Farcy com mences with hard swellings in the ly ymphatic glands, called farcy or glanders boils, which de- velop into ulcers which dis charge pus. This condition indicates incipient glanders. The disease is gen. orally marked by three progressive stages, unless the animal dies before they all appear. In all the stages there is a serious discharge from the nostrils, more or less alteration, and a cough like that which is made by one afflicted with the .atarrh. In late stages of tho disease the nasal membrane has color like lead, the lips and eyelids are swollen. ulcers appear on different parts of the head, the lungs become diseased, and the system is feverlsh. An animal that was in good condition may contract the disease and live for many months, being able to work most of the time, providing it is well fed and cared for. During this time it may communicate the disease to sev- eral horses, and even the men who have charge of them. through the me" dium of the pus that passes from the postyils. ,- Chieaeo Times,

Everybody has heard of "horse laugh" :" but who has ever seen an equine gifted with che power of speech! Such an animal would be pronounced miracle; but so would the telegraph and the telephone have been a hundred years ago. Why, even very re- gently cure for consumption would have been looked upon as miraculous, but now people are beginning to realize that the dis ease is not incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will cure it, if taken in time. This world-renowned remedy will not make new lungs, but it will restore dis eased ones to healthy state when all other means have failed. Thousands can grate- fully testify to this. All druggists.

 The strike of the Italian stevedores of the Starin line came very near assuming serious aspect last evening.

The wounds are not fatal. Owing to the darkness McDernott could not recognize the man who did the stabbing. No arrests have yet been made.
 Joseph MoIsk, one of the striking Italians, went back to work and was reinstated in his old position. Joseph Antonio of Union street, another of the strikers, attempted to shoot Morsk last evening with 32- calibre revolver. The police happened the ground just in time and arrested Antonio.

JACKSON, Tenn, Sept. 27.-A bad wreck occurred on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, two miles south of this place, this morning. An entire passenger train except the engine was hurled from a trestling while running forty-fve miles an hour and over thirty per- sons were injured-though. by what seems a miracle, none were killed. The coaches were thrown forty feet from the track and some turned completely over. The scene after the wreck was simply indescribable, women and children screaming for help and release from the closed cars. All were, however, rescued. One hundred yards of the track were torn up and the t-estle torn down. The breaking of g truck and bad track are the causes given for the wreck.
